That when you draw an arrow it doesn't point in the direction that its going to go? I play with crosshair off and, while i know to aim for the middle of the screen now, when I started I couldn't hit a damn thing. The arrow points to the left of where it will go. Nothing major, just would be nice to be able to aim properly.

You're talking about in 3rd person, right? Because that is the only time I have noticed that ranged attacks (bows, spells, shouts) all fire out to the left of the crosshair.

They shoot perfectly on the crosshair (well, arrows have this strange "up-and-over" arc, so if a target is rather close, shooting for their head sometimes makes it go OVER them) when in 1st person.

I noticed this when having turned off the crosshair & using a bow, but never thought anything of it till this post.

No the I always play 1st person for combat. Like for a medium-long range shot you have to aim to the right of the arrowhead.

Oh I see. I missed the part where you said you play with the crosshair off.

Well, all I can say is that maybe you should turn it back on. Or maybe it has something to do with the auto-aim.

I know the arrow travels above the corsshair at short distances and well below at long distances, but never right or left....only sometimes if you dont pull the string fully maybe?

I never had a problem like this... the arrow is fine in the middle.
